SCM files in 'scripts' folder, but 'script-fu' menu is empty - serialcomplimenter - 03-18-2021
I'm using GIMP 2.10 on Windows 10, and I haven't done anything about the default Scripts location: C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\share\gimp\2.0\scripts
There are theoretically 53 .scm files in this folder, all but one added by the GIMP Installer, but nothing shows up in Filters > Script-fu except "Console", "Refresh Scripts" and "Start Server"
[attachment=5758]
This folder is listed in Edit > Preferences > Folders > Scripts, so it *should* work, right? Am I missing something elementary?

You are missing the fact that each script is written to insert itself in the menus in it's own place. None of the standard scripts insert themselves in Filters 》Script-fu, they are scattered throughout the menus.

This is the location for scripts that come bundled with Gimp. Best is to leave this folder alone, don't install anything here.

There should be 2 folders listed here. The other is something like:
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\scripts
Install your scripts here
Go to Help > Plug-in Browser. Find your script here. It will tell you where in the menus your script is installed.

For the OP's defense they used to be in a specific Script-fu menu (back in 2.4 days...)

I really appreciate the help! Man, the plugin browser was a lifesaver, I was able to find the script I had downloaded. You're the (wo)man!
